Choosing to purchase a gift online has never been easier.  You may be overwhelmed with the vast range of products available.  Our way of shopping has changed, particularly as we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing. Online shopping has become convenient and a necessity for many.

What you choose to gift can greatly affect your experience and cost.  For instance, opting for a physical gift can be tricky.  Delivery of items requires logistics and timing.  Add on shipping costs, and pretty soon you’re paying for more than you expected. Then there’s the returns policy, and further collection times to factor in.  This is why opting to gift an experience gift can be a perfect choice: ideal for friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances.

Spa vouchers are one such option.  Who doesn’t love to be pampered?  Especially after these challenging times when looking after your emotional wellbeing is so important.  Visiting a luxurious spa can be just the ticket to unwinding, de-stressing and bringing life back into a more balanced state.  Celestial Gift Experiences has a wide range of spa packages catering for solo experiences, couples, friends or family.

Another great option is cooking classes.  Upskilling doesn’t need to be intense or boring.  Cooking classes are an excellent and fun way to try something new and broaden your horizons.  And often, this is something we all want to do but don’t tend to splurge on for ourselves. Celestial Gift Experiences offers an array of cooking classes, across various cuisines.  The kitchens are fully stocked and state of the art, and there’s no clean-up, it’s all taken care of.

Picnic Experiences are fast becoming the new trendy thing to do near me.  Private and exclusive they make for the perfect gift as the package can be tailor-made to suit the recipient’s requirements.  Everything is set up in advance including the eco-friendly cutlery, tasteful décor and delicious food, carefully created to suit even the most discerning palate.

Perhaps you have a Top Gun flying enthusiast you’d like to gift for.  With a Flying Lesson gift experience, an experienced professional expertly guides the lesson, which culminates in an exciting hands-on flight.  With several options to choose from, this is sure to put a huge smile on someone’s face and ticks the boxes for a memorable and unique gift.

Scenic Flights offer an exhilarating bird’s eye view of our magnificent landscape.  This vantage point from helicopter, gyroplane or even a group experience in a vintage Beech 18 aircraft is the epitome of out-of-this-world gifting.  The flight’s packages have become increasingly popular and in demand. Couples, singles, or teams will not be disappointed with this exceptional gift – where you sit back and enjoy the breath-taking scenes below and all around.

Water lovers will be spoilt by Scenic Cruise gift experiences.  Combine a luxurious yacht or catamaran with stunning views of Durban or Cape Town straight from the coast.  Offering a wide range of cruise options from romantic trips for two, to group outings there’s no doubt this gift will be enjoyed by every passenger on board.

Each package at Celestial Gift Experiences has been personally vetted by the Bucket List Genie and founder, Odette Butcher, herself. Visit www.celestialgifts.co.za for further information.
